Re: rosebud99 – it would actually be really weird because since the beginning of time we've told black women they aren't as beautiful as light skinned women. but when a woman who is black highlights and contours her face WE CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE IT!!! That's called privilege, clearly you are white.

Re: selinaaaa – Yes, I am white, and I certainly don't know what it is like to be a black woman, but I just think it is kinda sad when people like Minaj and Beyonce get lighter and lighter instead of embracing who they really are. Am I out of line by saying that? How do really dark toned girls feel when this happens? I would really like to know.

Re: rosebud99 – well when you are born with the privilege of having white skin… it's hard to see outside yourself. it's very odd to have a white person to suggest that it's inappropriate or self loathing for black women to lighten their skin tone and wear blonde weaves… just because it's not something that we traditionally see in black women. black women don't have to "look" black if they don't want to… and when white women say that it's because they aren't embracing themselves, it's offensive. the same could be said about any woman that dyes her hair or wears a foundation that's a shade lighter, no one owes their blackness to you.

On Friday, the 16-year-old Deakin shared the following image (below), a gorgeous portrait of the family with her late mother, Johannah Deakin, surrounded by all of her children:
